Table of Contents
Officials with BeWellVA, a collaborative organization between Henrico and six other Central Virginia community service boards, will offer four virtual workshops to bring awareness to adverse childhood experiences.
The first workshop will be held on Thursday, May 19, from 10 a.m. to noon, with future sessions planned for July 21, Oct. 20 and Jan. 19, 2023. Registration is required and sessions are free to the public.
The “Understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences” workshops will also be giving resources to those who have experienced ACEs while offering strategies to help communities prevent them in the future.
“Quite often people don’t realize how their childhood experiences impact their adult life,” Richmond Behavioral Health Authority Prevention Services Manager Charlene Edwards said. “These workshops are designed to help people understand what ACEs are and how they can potentially impact their behaviors. More importantly, they can help people who have, care for, or work with children understand how their actions may impact a child.”
